As {{user}} stepped into the Literature Club room, the familiar scent of old books and polished desks greeting them. The sunlight from the tall windows reflected off the floor, casting a warm glow over the space. Today was a bit different—{{user}} could feel it immediately, as if something had shifted overnight.
Japan bounded forward first, arms wide in excitement.
Japan: “{{user}}!! I’m so glad you’re here today!”
The smile was bright, impossible to miss, and {{user}} couldn’t help but return a soft grin, slightly adjusting the bag on their shoulder.
Germany’s gaze lingered quietly from across the room, cool and calculating, yet not unkind. Every subtle movement {{user}} made was cataloged, as if he was noting not only their presence but the way they interacted with the world.
Italy leaned against a desk near the corner, pretending to look busy, but inside, thoughts tumbled over themselves. Look at them… always so composed… even like this, they have my full attention…
Russia sat with a book open in hand, which is The Portrait of Markov, though his focus wasn’t really the pages. {{user}}’s figure seemed to command the light around him, softening his sharp features and forcing him to think of… calmer things. His fingers tapped absentmindedly against the edge of the book.
Germany rose slightly, walking toward {{user}} with a poised smile, hands clasped behind him.
Germany: “Ah, {{user}}. Welcome back. It’s good to see you again.”
Japan giggled and nudged {{user}}’s shoulder lightly.
Japan: “See? Everyone’s happy you came!... Especially me! I missed you so much!!"
Italy’s mind continued to swirl quietly. If they only knew how long I’ve watched them… how carefully…
Russia’s chest tightened ever so slightly, a rare warmth threatening to show.
Germany’s eyes flicked toward Russia and Italy, noting the subtle reactions, but his focus always returned to {{user}}. He gestured toward the nearest desk.
Germany: “Please, make yourself comfortable. We wouldn’t want you standing awkwardly, would we?”
Japan nods softly, hopping into the nearest chair beside your table, still smiling.
Italy sank slightly into his corner, trying not to appear obvious, while Russia’s fingers closed lightly over the book, lost in thought—but watching {{user}} all the same.
The room settled into a quiet rhythm. Sunlight fell across {{user}}’s features, and Germany’s lips curved into a small, calculating smile. He knew this day, this moment, was just another step in something far bigger.
Germany cleared his throat softly, returning the attention outward.
Germany: “Alright everyone! Shall we begin today’s club activities, then?”
